The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has generously bestowed an enormous amount of the famous architect’s archives to both the Museum of Modern Art and Columbia University. New York based-Wright enthusiasts can celebrate by visiting some 23,000 architectural drawings, 44,000 photographs, and countless presentation models, manuscripts, and correspondence that will become part of both institutions’ permanent collections. The new stewardship will make way for never-before-seen exhibitions, publications, and programs that explore Wright’s work, not to mention tons of fresh material to keep researching scholars busy for years.

Fallingwater Edgar J. Kaufmann House, Mill Run, PA. 1934-37. “The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives (The Museum of Modern Art | Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, Columbia University, New York)”
Columbia’s Avery Architectural and Fine Art Library will hold all of the paper-based archives including drawings, letters, transcripts, interview tapes, and films which will provide new avenues of scholarly work as well as fresh curriculum for architectural classes.
MoMA will take care of all the architectural elements, 3D models, and design prototypes. The museum will regularly display special exhibitions that feature Wright’s works and implement them into a greater context of 20th century art and design.
